a virus is something that you get when you go to a certain site or open a file that is sent to your e-mail then you download the said file; meaning it has user intervention.

the best way to avoid getting it on your device is to not open any attachment or download any files from senders you do not know and make sure that when you download something you run an anti-virus scan on it..
[Security Discussion] Veeshush:
I still wouldn't make the mistake of thinking it (Android) is as locked down as Linux live cd or something. Or short of just using a computer without internet access.

http://www.virusradar.com/en/update/android

Sure, most of those added to the definitions probably did require some sort of user intervention. But short of having your device bricked or its battery dead, I can't say any device is immune. If you want entire avoidance from getting hit with something, you get a pet rock. All other security measures are just about lessening chances and making it more of a pain for the person trying to do the damage.

Please note that I'm not attempting to diminish the threat that malware poses, just that we are using the right terminology.

I am well aware that no online system is secure, and now, even airgaps are not secure.
[Security Discussion] theJGstandard:
Its better to say that you can get malware. Viruses are able to self replicate, Android does not have self replicating threats.

Android certainly does have malware. The most common malware commits premium service fraud. This will secretly send SMS messages or make phone calls to premium services that will incur additional charges on the mobile phone bill.

There are also numerous commercial spyware applications on the market.

Android malware has been growing for several years and significantly outnumbers all other mobile platforms. Malware is becoming increasingly compelx and dangerous. It is not yet to the level of PC malware but it is certainly on that path.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incredulous:
Follow this link - https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/hammerhead-krt16m-factory-bd9c39de.tgz

Then follow these instructions as per Google:

You will find these files useful if you have used the Android Open-Source Project, flashed custom builds on your device, and wish to return that device to its factory state.

In order to use these files, you need to have the fastboot tool in your PATH. That tool is compiled as part of every configuration of the Android Open-Source Project and is the tool used to flash custom builds on your device. On GNU/Linux systems, this also implies that you have configured USB access as mentioned in the machine setup instructions.

Your device needs to be in fastboot mode, with the bootloader unlocked. The relevant key combinations and commands are documented on the page about building for devices.

You need to uncompress each download before use, which creates a new directory for that exact download. That directory contains a ./flash-all.sh script, which handles the various operations, installs the necessary bootloader, baseband firmware(s), and operating system. Note that this operation deletes all user data by default.

People should stop the misconception of "You can't brick a nexus" it sounds like "It's a mac, it won't get viruses" this phone is easier to trouble shoot since is easily unlock-able and sources come in a golden box. But actually it's easier to brick than my old HTC One S with S-OFF and some Sony & Motorola phones with its nearly impossible to unlock bootloader.

People are realizing the hard way that it's easy to brick this phone by thinking it's not brick-able. But at the end = USER ERROR

What is the error message you are seeing? If it is "Flash write error" Your eMMC is either corrupted or damaged and you'll need to send your phone in for warranty.

You are getting your terms confused. ;)

Fastboot is used in the Bootloader

ADB (Android Debug Bridge) is used in Android and recovery
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambofgod13:
<-----------insert wrong answer here
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
ADB does not function in the bootloader. One uses fastboot commands while booted into the bootloader.

It's a common mistake. I'm just trying to educate to avoid confusion.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GUGUITOMTG4:
What they mean is not to mention "adb" while handling with the bootloader. no adb command works while in the bootloader, fastboot commands do.

adb and fastboot files are usually located in the same folder on the computer (you can separate them 1 folder for each) but in the phone they work on very different partitions.
